In 2011, there were 1901 people killed on UK roads. For a population of 63.181m and a car ownership rate of 519 / 1000.
In 2011, there were 9,424 people killed on Ukraine roads. for a population of 45.795m and car ownership rate of 173 / 1000.
So there were in 2011 32.970m cars in the UK and 7.922m in the Ukraine. A Ukraine car owner is about 20.5 more likely to be killed than one in the UK.

Whereas with a Western made cars have many safety features, especially air bags, with the average Eastern European made car I think their main safety feature if for it to happen quickly.

Airbags would save many lives in the Ukraine where only 'cowards' and visitors wear seat belts.

The closest I've had over there is in Kiev. Traffic lights had just changed to green on the dual carriageway I was on and in the outside lane and as I and the car next to me crossed the intersection, there was a minor road about 10m after the intersection from block of flats, where a car containing 4 drunk youths pulled out straight in front of us, too fast so he went half in my lane, we both braked hard, so the car behind me overtook heading for the traffic coming the opposite direction and cut me and the car he would have had hit head-on with as he swerved back in. Madness.
